All drives must have at least one partition to be usable.

Your choices are to get another drive or delete something from the existing drive.

If you happen to have a second partition on the existing drive, you can move personal data files from C to the other partition.

Thanks. So I can move data to D:/ and use it as it were in C:/. Cheers.

You can move personal data files to D and still be able to use them from C.

But you cannot move Windows files or installed programs from one partition to another without major problems.

That's cool. It's all I want to do. Thanks for your help.
Have a great day.
